| | Summary: |
| | This article provides information about the possibilities and technologies [2]
available for the building industry in the Republic of Serbia, and concerns the trends -
which expansion is expected in Europe and worldwide - the of use of renewable sources
of building materials. Exploitation of sand and gravel from rivers and dry mines in many
EU countries is prohibited. Excavation of clay from clay deposits and blasting the rock
mass are considered as a violation of the natural environment and resulting with scars
on our planet Earth.Renewable sources of construction materials are considered
materials which each year can be renewed and which are the most common by-product
of agricultural production.Materials obtained by recycling existing materials already
used in construction, as well as by-products of industrial production are also considered
sustainable materials.Renewable materials are supporting the new, worldwide trend in
building industry, called "Green Building" with the aim of reducing harmful CO2
emissions.This paper will discuss renewable materials obtained as a by-product of
agricultural production such as grain straw (wheat, barley, rye and oats), cane and
hemp shiv obtained by mechanical breakingof hemp stems.These materials are cheap
because they are by-products and they are energy efficient, which is particularly
important nowadays.The construction of buildings with the above mentioned materials
should be well planned to ensure the durability, fire resistance and particularly the
pleasant and comfortable stay for the people.The walls made of this material must be
solved, and ensured to avoid occurrence of rodents and other pests that may be carriers
of dangerous and contagious diseases. |
